1-242870

ShipCraft volume examines the evolution of the British Royal Navy's fleet carriers as exemplified by those designed from the keel up for the role. Provides information about building and modifying model kits of popular warship types. Lavishly illustrated, takes the modeler through a brief history of the subject, highlighting differences between ships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring color profiles, and highly detailed line drawings and scale plans.

The modeling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the subjects, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by a photographic gallery of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research references - books, monographs, large-scale plans, and relevant websites. Contains 60 color illustrations and 60 mono illustrations.
